12 The Incoming Date

After spending their time from the station to Kagamihara's family residence, both women arrived at their current destination. When they arrived and got out of the car, Sakura's family greeted Eleonora and Sakura. Especially her little sister, who is energetic and always full of enthusiasm. She even waved her hands before running toward Eleonora and giving the young chairman a lovely hug.

"Leo-nee-chan! You're already here!"

"Yes, Nadeshiko-chan. I come to visit, and you don't have to call me onee-chan, you know? I'm younger than you, after all."

But Nadeshiko shook her head as she happily snuggled herself and hugged Eleonora more. She smiles happily, which makes Eleonora give up when seeing Nadeshiko's response as she greets their parents with a smile.

"Oji-san, Oba-san. Thank you for accepting to stay in here for a few days."

With a hearty laugh, the father of both Kagamihara's waved his hands to Eleonora.

"No problem, Eleonora, and please call me Otou-san; you're already considered our family since you are Sakura's girlfriend and wife-to-be after all."

Kagamihara Shuuichirou said that to Eleonora casually, which makes the said girl sweatdrops a bit as Sakura slightly blushed when hearing it but trying to keep her usual composure or she will lose her cool and calmness.

The mother just chuckled and sent a warm smile to her.

"Yes, what Shuuichirou-san is correct, Nora-chan. You can call me okaa-san too and Nadeshiko, please don't do that to Nora-chan. Look, you bothering her."

"Uuhm…! Okay then. But Leo-nee-chan hasn't come in a long time, so I miss her so much!"

"There, there. She will stay here for a few days, surely Nora-chan has the time for you, so try to be patient. Okay?"

"…Okay. Sorry for that, Leo-nee-chan."

But Eleonora just patted Nadeshiko's head with a smile on her face when seeing the look that adorable munchkin made after being told like that by her mother. The energetic girl smiled happily when she felt Eleonora's patting. It gives her a sense of calmness and comfort.

"I'll make it up later. Don't be sad, okay?"

Nadeshiko bobbed her head quickly as she heard what Eleonora said.

"Okay, Leo-nee-chan! I promise!"

"Good girl."

"Sheesh. You pamper her too much, Leo. She will quickly get used to it, you know."

"As long as it is not every day, then I don't see the problem."

Sakura just shook her head and sighed in tiredness when she heard the answer from Eleonora's mouth. She doesn't want that to become a bad habit for her stupid little sister that always makes her worried and cause some problem.

Her parents just giggled when seeing Sakura's reaction and Nadeshiko, who just kept smiling widely, had an innocent reaction since she doesn't know precisely what they talk about. Sometimes, she can be like that, even though she is already in high school and not middle school anymore but kept acting like some kind of middle schooler and puppy.

Really, she is a puppy in human form since she has limitless energy and; is always happy.

"Alright. How about we come inside first? Honey, please help Nora-chan with her luggage."

"Okay. Sakura, Nadeshiko, come on. Let's get inside while I carry Nora's luggage."

"Thank you, otou-san, okaa-san."

"No problem! Come on."

Eleonora nodded while all the females entered the house as Shuuichiro, the only male currently carrying the youngest girl in the group luggage. He is relieved that she only brings light baggage and only one, or it will be hard for him to carry it to the house since he's not that buffed and strong enough.

Although he was a bit confused why Eleonora only had one suitcase? But it didn't bother her since she's rich and has a lot of money to buy anything she wants while in here; that's the logical thing he can come up with since it's a fact. He can't deny that his soon-to-be daughter-in-law is rich enough to feed an entire family consisting of up to fifty people with only a bit of her money.

'I'm just glad she can make Sakura interested in love, although I'm surprised at first that she went to lesbian, I'm okay with that. The only matter is my daughters' happiness; after all, it didn't matter if she was lesbian or straight or bisexual. I support her with all my might.'

He is a really good parent that willingly supports his daughter for her happiness.

------

As they already go inside the house, their mother—Kagamihara Shizuka—then leads Eleonora to her room, the empty room for her to use during her stay in Motosu. Since it's Kagamihara's family's new house because her usual room in their old house is already gone. It's practically simple and nothing grand decorating, but Eleonora is grateful and happily accepts their generosity.

It's nothing new that Sakura's family is always indebted to Eleonora, especially since they started to know each other two years ago. She met with her and made Sakura fall in love for the first time in her entire life.

After taking up her suitcase and unpacking it as she tries to fill the wardrobe with her clothes, Eleonora, who has already changed her outfits, comes out of her room. She then goes to the family living room as she greets the people is actually the whole Kagamihara family there.

All of them smiled in awe with Eleonora's new appearance right now.

"Wah, Leo-nee-chan, you are pretty! Super pretty!"

Shizuka nods in agreement with her youngest daughter, who gives the young chairman a thumbs-up. She also gives Eleonora a thumbs-up as if she approves Eleonora's choice of outfit she wears right now, even Sakura stunned and blushing slightly when seeing her new outfit.

"It really suits you, Nora-chan. You become more stunning."

"Haha, that's true. You're beautiful, Eleonora. Look, even Sakura stunned at how charming you are."

Hearing that, Sakura snapped and glared at her father, who only responded jokingly. Eleonora only giggled when seeing Sakura's reaction but smiled at the compliment they gave her as she was happy when she heard that.

Eleonora is wearing a white shirt with black lining and a white open jacket. She also wears a black collar and necklace around her neck, while she also wears black jeans and a gray-colored belt with snakeskin as the motif.

"Thank you, Nadeshiko-chan, Otou-san, Okaa-san. I'm just looking forward to our date. Isn't that right, Sakura-nee?"

She said that to Sakura and gave her warm yet gentle smile to the purple-haired young woman.

Hearing that, the three Kagamihara look at Sakura with smugs and teasing smiles, while she has her face blushed in embarrassment, and angry tick mark can be seen through her head by anyone as she was a bit pissed by the behavior of her own family.

Eleonora laughs awkwardly when she knows her girlfriend right now, but she is coughing and trying to distract them while giving their attention to her miraculously… it's worked! Their attention is drawn toward Eleonora.

"Alright, please don't bully Sakura-nee. She would hate you if you kept doing that."

"Seriously… I'll change my outfit first. Please wait for it, okay, Leo?"

"Okay, don't worry. We still have an hour."

Sakura nodded, left the living room, and went to her room to change her usual outfit with her dating outfit since it would leave a bad impression and memory if she chose to go on a date with her usual parka and jacket.

She knew that she could be a bit bad with her fashion sense, but she isn't that bad.

Eleonora just waved to Sakura as the glasses purple-haired woman who loves riding went back to her room. She sat on the living room couch with Nadeshiko, sitting on her lap. The girl younger than Nadeshiko but has an adult-like appearance just ignores it and gives the enthusiastic girl a pat on her head that she loves so much while Eleonora is waiting for her girlfriend to finish changing her outfit.

Nadeshiko smiled and laughed happily when she was given a head pat. She felt comfortable and liked it moreover, sitting on Eleonora's lap is more comfortable; it's double comfy feeling she has right now, and she doesn't want it to stop.

Nadeshiko's mother, who sees it, just watches her youngest daughter with a smile.

"Geez, Nadeshiko. You are bothering her again with your attitude. You can't wait for a bit, aren't you?"

"I can't, Otou-san! It seems impossible for me to do that!"

"Sorry for that, Eleonora. She can be a bit spoiled and childish. I mean, she's older than you but still acts like this while you're more mature than her."

Eleonora just shook her head as she chuckled and waved her hands.

"No problem, Otou-san. I'm fine with it since Nadeshiko-chan is like a little sister. Although it is supposed the other way. Moreover, Sakura-nee always seems strict with Nadeshiko-chan, and maybe it's up to me who be the one that spoils her for a while when I'm here. Also, I already brought my camping gear since Nadeshiko-chan wants to have camping with her friends and me."

Hearing that, Nadeshiko's eyes were beaming with excitement and happiness as her single strand of hair swung fast like some kind of dog tail. Eleonora, who sees it, felt that Nadeshiko was really a puppy in human form.

'Her ahoge is twitching… it's cute.'

She was amused seeing it.

"Really?! You will come to camping with me, Leo-nee-chan?!"

"Yes, Nadeshiko-chan. I will go camping with you, but this will be my first time, so I don't know what to do. Maybe you can help me when we go camping?"

"Of course! I'll surely help you, don't worry about it, Leo-nee-chan! Leave it to Nadeshiko, the best camping encyclopedia, that will be surely helpful!"

"Then, I'm counting it on you."

Nadeshiko's smile widened, and she nodded with enthusiasm.

"Huum! Leave it to me, Leo-nee-chan!"

She said that which made Eleonora chuckle at her while still patting the head of this pink-haired childish girl who seemed to enjoy it. She really doesn't want to let it go; she wants to be pampered and spoiled by her sister-in-law.

'I can't wait to go camping with Leo-nee-chan!'

Seeing Nadeshiko's reaction, her parents could only smile as their thinking is the same.

'It's so obvious… she really wants to play with her.'

Nonetheless, they are happy with that and can see that Eleonora could be a good wife in the future if she can handle someone like Nadeshiko. She might even be a perfect wife if she's not engrossed at work and becomes a full-time housewife, but some girls are different after all.

Remembering something, Shizuka then changes her gaze to Eleonora and asks.

"Oh right, Nora-chan. Where are you going on a date with Sakura?"

"It's in Minobu. We're going there and have fun enjoying our date. I just hope Sakura-nee isn't bored with it."

She said that with a worried tone while scratching her cheeks, but Shizuka just chuckled.

"No problem, you already date her for 1.5 years, aren't you? Surely you already know when she likes it or not. If she doesn't like it, she will tell it to you; she can be blunt sometimes."

Nadeshiko nodded at her mother, agreeing with what she said.

"Yeah! Onee-chan is always blunt and strict to me, so you don't have to worry about it, Leo-nee-chan."

"Who is blunt and strict to you…?"

"Of course it's—"

Before she finished her sentences, Nadeshiko's head was grabbed as she started grunting in pain and said, 'It's hurt! It's hurt!' by Sakura, who just came out from her room and already changed her usual parka to another clothes that fit her date with Eleonora.

"Owh! Owh! Owh! It's hurt, Onee-chan! I'm sorry!"

Sakura then stopped grabbing Nadeshiko's head as the young girl still felt the pain from the 'punishment' she got from her oldest sister. She was crying a little and sulking because of what her sister did, although she was always punished because of her stupid behavior, which worried her sister.

"Sorry for that, Leo. This idiot always needs punishment since Tou-san and Kaa-san are always soft to her."

Both parents smiled sheepishly when they heard their oldest daughter say that. Eleonora just kept getting amused by them and shook her head as she looked carefully at Sakura's current outfits. The purple-haired woman who always wears a green parka and jacket is wears something that really different than that.

It's a black sweater that shows up her cleavage as she wears golden jewelry on her neck and a grey coat covering her black sweater. She also wears a dark grey skirt with black lining and black stockings. Her usual hairstyle also changed; her bangs are not tied back as she let it down and tied her hair in a long ponytail instead of a short ponytail like usual.

Eleonora, who sees it, then walks closer to her, which surprises Sakura when Eleonora kisses her cheeks. Sakura, of course, blushed a bit since she never expected that kind of thing from Eleonora. Her mother and sister just gasped for a bit then went in awe. While her father just smiled widely when seeing it.

She blushed; it became deeper when her girlfriend gave her another kiss on the cheeks. She shot a glare to each of them, making her family smile, and her girlfriend chuckled in amusement.

"You are beautiful, Sakura-nee. Don't be shy about it, okay?"

Nadeshiko nodded her head quickly and gave her approval.

"She's right, Onee-chan! You're beautiful! I want to wear a beautiful outfit too, like Onee-chan!"

"Nadeshiko, there's something more suits you than what your Onee-chan wears. Something cute, of course."

"Hmph! I understand, but I want to be beautiful like Onee-chan and Leo-nee-chan. It will be nice for me if I can do something like that."

"Alright, maybe later. But for now, it's your Onee-chan's time to shine."

Shizuka said that while looking at Eleonora and Sakura, smiling as they nodded their heads. The young chairman then holds her girlfriend's hand as they hold each other hand. If this Sakura's first date, she would be very nervous, and her hands will shake, but the current her isn't like that again.

Holding her girlfriend's hands is something normal for her now.

"Then, we will have our date. Nadeshiko, don't do anything weird when I'm not here for a while, okay?"

"Yes, Onee-chan! I will, and don't forget to bring me a souvenir!"

"That's right. Enjoy your date, and don't think about anything except it."

"Don't be late when going home!"

Sakura and Eleonora nodded as the young bluenette said goodbye to them.

"Then, I'll take care of Sakura-nee very well. About souvenirs, I'll buy a lot for you, Nadeshiko-chan, so don't worry about it."

"Really?!"

Eleonora nodded at Nadeshiko, who smiled happily and nodded with enthusiasm when she heard it.

"Then, we leave for the time being."

The three of them nods their head as Eleonora and Sakura leave the house as they are about to start their date for this time.

The chat group is always busy and filled with many talks. The various topics or discussions are being discussed by the members, although the group is only limited to selected ones who are females. It's not like the creator of this chat is feminist or the likes, but they are only want to make an interesting chat group.

Also, there's a chat group consisting of only males. So it's not like it's weird or anything; instead, it's normal. But some people may see it as feminist. The creator didn't care about it, and if they want to create a male-female chat group of mixed chat groups, they should do it rather than complain and bitching around.

And here is it, the topic for today when Eleonora isn't online and checking the group.

The Nightmare: "It seems @Queen of Sweets-san isn't online. But it's okay, I want to talk about something with everyone if possible. Regarding our upcoming dimensional trip."

Bloodsucker Black Serpent: "I'm not going but curious. What is this?"

Demon Sword Muramasa: "+1."

Strongest Ice Queen: "+1."

King of Knight: "+1."

Demon Mommy: "What is that, @The Nightmare-san? Come to think, you're right when @Queen of Sweet-san isn't online today. I wonder where she is, but maybe she has something important to do out there."

Sword Princess: "I want to upvote but remember that I'm going on the dimensional trip."

The Nightmare: "It's regarding time. The flow of time when we enter another dimension. Will it be the same or different? If it was different, is it big or small differences? I'm pretty curious about that since time manipulation is something on my capability but not true manipulation of time."

Pudding Lover: "Ah… about that, huh. Usually, the time flow is the same when I'm in another dimension. Maybe because the dimension I visit is still the same universe. So our dimensional trip or universe trip is likely in another universe different from ours. So I guess the flow of time is also different. But to know about how big or small it is, maybe we have to experience it ourselves."

Hajime True Soulmate: "@Pudding Lover …Who are you and what have you done to the real Pudding Lover? She isn't the one who suddenly smart and talks like this."

Pudding Lover: "Forgive me. I'm currently stuck in my HDD Form, and with that, my thinking is also different from usual. Usually, when I'm in my Human Form, I'm childish and always causing trouble with people around me."

Golden Fox of Kyoto: "HDD Form…? But from what I've read from the text, it's Goddess Form."

Pudding Lover: "Indeed. It's also can be translated as Goddess Form, Goddess Evolution, or Goddess-ize. But it's short for Hard Drive Divinity. Usually, it's written as HDD or Goddess Form. In this form, I'm more mature than my usual form and not childish like always. I am also not lazy and always diligently work."

Hajime True Soulmate: "It's… weird. I usually call it a lie or, what Hajime said, 'bullshit,' but I believe it now since I don't know how other worlds work. Our culture and anything might be different from each other. But I kind of like your so-called HDD Form; it's not annoying."

Pudding Lover: "Forgive me for that, @Hajime True Soulmate and @The Nightmare-san, I already answered your question. Maybe it is just my guess and might be inaccurate, but that was what I can get so far from my experience. Is my answer satisfy you?"

The Nightmare: "Yes. Thank you for that, @Pudding Lover-san, and I might want to ask another thing."

Pudding Lover: "What is it? I'll answer it as my best."

The Nightmare: "Did your usual self or Human Form will remember anything you said when you're in HDD Form? Because sometimes when someone changes their form, they always tend not to remember anything when they are in that form."

Pudding Lover: "Fortunately, I am capable of remembering anything of what I do. There's nothing like that, and as to why I can change my personality, maybe it's due to how special I am. Because from all goddesses I've known in my universe or dimension, only me has a different personality. The other goddesses remain their personalities, unlike mine. Maybe I am an exception."

Demon Mommy: "Oh my. It's so interesting. I hope this chat is being added some upload video or image so we can see each other easily even if we are far away."

The Florist Succubus: "That's right! I want to share my lovely plants with all of you! It will be nice if I can share the view of my beautiful plants."

Titania The Empress: "Indeed. I also want to record a video about 'How To Make Strawberry Cake' since typing it in document format isn't that convenient. We can't even insert an image into the document."

Pudding Lover: "We have to wait until our first time of the dimensional trip. I believe the group will have that kind of feature later."

King of Knight: "Indeed. I also want to record my swordsmanship training to be useful for someone interested in learning swordmanship. I don't want my knowledge about it gone waste; I want it kept alive and be learned by many people."

The Nightmare: "It's okay. We just have to wait a little more. The date for our dimensional trip is near and coming soon. Let's keep reminding each other, so we don't forget about it. Although it's only for three days and our main objective is to collect the materials to complete the dimensional travel machine; we have to be serious, but I think it's okay if we already fulfill it faster than the deadline."

Demon Sword Muramasa: "The faster, the better we got the free time."

Strongest Ice Queen: "That's right. You can look around the place with that rest of time."

Everyone in the chat group was filled with enthusiasm, especially those who would visit another dimension. They're eager to see a new world that's different than theirs. The same as when someone wants to visit a new place unknown to them.

------

A man is known as Wizard Marshall, Kaleidoscope, Zelretch of the Jewels, Old Man of the Jewels, and one of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, a vampire, currently in shock when he takes a peek at someone's abilities. He didn't believe it for a second, but as soon as he rubs his eyes and looks at it again, his eyesight isn't lying; it's showing the truth.

He covers his face with his palms and muttering something.

"How is it possible… how can it be… someone other than the 'original' owner capable of wielding it too. Is it because she is from another universe? But I detect the faint trace of her that she's from this universe, this world and has the similarity with King Arthur."

He scratched his hair in tiredness as he was confused at this. But something came into his mind when the slight of thinking passed his head. His face paled but then sighed in a tired tone and cursed.

"Fuck… goddamn. So that's how it is. Haha… that prophet and Alaya—no, it's not Alaya. It's something higher than it, something that holds the authority to bend the laws, the universe, and even create it. Capable of creating and destroying anything it wants."

He took a deep breath and let it out again.

"Both are working together. It's not Solomon who pullings the string, but—something far greater than that. Solomon might be viewed as a small child in its eyes. Even me who considered Wizard Marshall and one of the Dead Apostle."

—Worried. That is what Zelretch felt right now. He worried yet intrigued. He wants to see how far the person he observes is right now. That person got his attention, although a human isn't supposed to wield something like that; that is if she's an average human.

"Well… I can't do anything about it. She has both Third Magic—Heaven's Fell: The Cup of Heaven—and Fifth Magic—Magic Blue. It's kind of cheating since she doesn't have anything that supports her human body like those with System and has to be limited even if they capable of unlocking and using it."

Indeed. She's not by mean a normal human from the start. She is backed up by the higher being in her world who can meddle in another as it wants. She doesn't have something like a System like others.

But Zelretch also knew one thing.

"That kid… she either be someone that surpasses the one who backed her or not. Meh, Kamijou Touma isn't the Savior that Alaya needs again. That boy can be easily killed if she uses her full potential. That Imagine Breaker or some kind of secrets that he still has might be useless against her."

He shrugged and didn't even want to mention a particular Master of Chaldea or Counter Guardian's counterpart. He doesn't feel like mentioning them. He doesn't know why.
